A variety of anchoring situations are presented to cruisers in the Salish Sea. This presentation covers some of them. Familiar and backup gear that a cruiser trusts and can handle is essential, once away from the common anchorages and the light air months. Not focused on anchor choice but on anchoring options, this talk and discussion is for those who are considering extending their anchoring methods, such as anchoring under sail. Each cruiser must become skilled with their own boat and gear, so “the right way” will be among the ways that you find works for you.
